We offer an objective, head-to-head comparison of the two outlets, and indicate what products might be best to get from each supplier.

Lowe's is cleaner, better organized. I feel like it easier to find things in there

Sorry this is incorrect, Home Depot clearly states that they have a 90 day return policy and will take back anything within that time, even damage goods. They also can search by credit.debit card as well as checks for return receipts. Please get your facts straight before comparing two things.

The basic return policy according to the HD site is as stated by the writer - 90 days for unopened goods:
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ContentView?pn=Return_Policy&catalogId=10053&storeId=10051&langId=-1
You can get them to take back any opened/damaged goods for up to 30 days
